Doing exactly what you are doing. Pinging again and falling on the mercy
of the senior reviewers to review v5.

Joseph Myers is the expert and subsystem maintainer here. I would ask
him directly for a final review.

As always you may need to wait. The next development freeze is January
1st 2018 (1 month from now). So you have a little more time before that
point.

I would suggest proposing your changes as release blockers given the
performance benefit to users. Add them here:
https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/Release/2.27

See previous release blockers to see how we structure that text:
https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/Release/2.26#Release_blockers.3F
